Recovered Voices
Please join soprano Kristina Bachrach and pianist Miori Sugiyama on a journey through some of the forgotten vocal music by composers whose voices were needlessly suppressed or eliminated by the Nazi regime, and those artists who inspired them. This duo, who won the inaugural International Ziering Conlon Recovered Voices Competition in 2015, will present works by Alexander Zemlinsky Hanns Eisler, Kurt Weill, Arnold Schoenberg, Werner Richard Heymann, and more.
This concert is part of the Music at the Park Concert Series. It will be held at 5:30 pm on April 2, 2017
